The Green Bay Packers are entering the 2024 off-season with some room for improvements. 2023 certainly showed the league that the Packers won’t be entering a “rebuild” after trading away four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers. However, there will be some tweaks needed in order to take their team from playoff caliber to championship caliber.
General Manger Brian Gutekunst is reportedly all about making that happen by any means possible.
Green Bay Packers General Manger Brian Gutekunst Not Afraid Of Free Agency In 2024
According to Zach Kruse of The Packers Wire:
One other stood out to me in Tom Silverstein‘s piece: Gutey wants to go shopping in free agency.
“With that much cap room, they’ll be able to sign some high-priced free agents and do a Love contract extension.”
The top priority this off-season will likely be between two things: keeping Aaron Jones in Green Bay and getting a Jordan Love contract extension done. However, the multiple reports indicate that the Packers won’t stop there.
What Are The Top Free Agents In 2024?
Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com highlighted the top 101 free agents of 2024. Here are some of the very best:
Rank 1DT · Age: 30It would cost the Chiefs approximately $32 million to place the franchise tag on Jones, which means it could be long-term-deal-or-else time in Kansas City. Arguably the greatest playoff defensive player of his generation might actually change teams.
Rank 2QB · Age: 36It’s very Kirk Cousins that the four-time Pro Bowler was playing the best football of his career just before he tore his Achilles. Nothing is ever simple with him. For him to be dealing with an injury that serious at this age makes it tricky to establish his price tag, but he’ll still have plenty of suitors.
Rank 3Edge · Age: 27Known as a very good pass rusher for most of his young career, Allen elevated to great in 2023. There’s no way the Jaguars will let their best player from last season walk away.
Rank 4DT · Age: 28Wilkins is able to play against the run at a high level and is coming off a career-high 61 pressures. The Dolphins are likely to find a way to keep him around.
Rank 5Edge · Age: 26There’s a reason the Panthers reportedly turned down multiple first-round picks from the Rams for Burns back during the 2022 season. Top-15 edge rushers in their prime are hard to find.
Rank 6CB · Age: 27Steve Spagnuolo’s system helps, but no Chiefs cornerback in the Patrick Mahomes era has dominated like Sneed. There are a lot of teams hoping he hits the open market, because his physical style would travel.
Rank 7DT · Age: 26Madubuike improved in each of his first three seasons — and then he more than doubled his pressure total year-over-year (to 64 from 24) in a well-timed 2023 breakout. A franchise tag is likely coming.
Rank 8S · Age: 26The Bucs wouldn’t have made the playoffs without Winfield’s game-changing plays. The author of one of the most dominant safety seasons in recent memory, Winfield may be the very best at a position that is too often overlooked in free agency.
Rank 9Edge · Age: 29Hunter’s productive holdout last summer led to a one-year deal worth up to $20 million with a guarantee the team could not tag him. He proceeded to rack up 16.5 sacks, proving again he can transcend any scheme.
Rank 10WR · Age: 31Evans is always open. His ability to uncover at every level last season proved he’s still an excellent No. 1 option — even if there’s more road behind him than in front of him at this point in his career.
